Gameplay:
I wanted to create a bit more diversity since Aela the Huntress is technically the only named female werewolf within Skyrim, not counting the other two you may encounter on Solsteim.
So just for fun, I turned Sinding into a cute waifu named Sindra, with remade voice lines, even all text strings have been replaced to match her name. Sindra has the FemaleCommoner voicetype and her face is somewhat vanilla-oriented with no third party requirements. Her face was loosely based on my own current preset which I made with Enhanced Character Edit and her hair was based on Vanilla Hair Remake, while I didn't want to stray too far away from Sinding's original design. PS - I recommend people to start a new game to counter any neck seam issues since her weight is now set to 50 (unless you have Save Unbaker), but also to get the full experience from this mod.
Also comes with a tweaked version of my other mod Authentic Sinding Follower that needs to overwrite the original. (Note - some of the replaced lines from other NPCs may be horribly spliced at the time)
Questions & Answers
"Why...?"
The sole purpose of this mod was not to raise awareness of transpeople just because it's pride month per se if that's what you were thinking, but I believe in alternate universes in regards to TES where certain characters might've been born the opposite sex; so it was more to make up for more diversity. I've come across other mods before that turn NPCs like Ralof, Cicero and Miraak into females and even a mod that turn the housecarls into males. I used to think mods like that weren't exactly my cup of tea, and since years after Skyrim's release, I've usually been more into male-oriented content. But since Sinding is clearly my favorite NPC, I thought 'Why not jump the bandwagon?'
Besides, during the time I was working on and been playing with this replacer, I've actually grown more attached to Sindra.
"Can you turn <X> into a woman too?"
I don't think so. I feel this was just a one-time thing because I usually just mod one idea into the game that crosses my mind at the time, and I don't really have time to fullfill any requests.
"Are Sindra's textures standalone?"
Only hair/eyes/brows/mouth but she will obviously use the female skin replacer you have installed. I'm personally using my personal LE backport of Simply Skin.
"Can I improve Sindra's look and post it as a separate mod?"
I'm totally up for the idea if someone would be willing to do that. I'd appreciate if you gave my mod a mention too.
Installation:
You can download the archive(s) and drag-and-drop it into the open window of the mod manager you're using (Vortex or MO2), make sure they overwrite everything.
